Four seasons in a day? Absolutely! With a restless sleep due to the unnerving sound of gusting 90km winds high in the treetops that started from a gentle rustle and finished like the sound of a freight train approaching at high speed and repeated the cycle in an endless loop until replaced with constant rain until daylight.

Checking in at the Wilsons Prom visitors centre for our 4 day hike, the lady serving us checked the tide chart for Sealers Cove, then checked her watch and declared that we would make it to Sealers Cove right on high tide! This would potentially mean a waist deep river crossing to reach our target campsite for the evening, something that we really hadn’t considered or prepared for.
